    Notes 
    • Excerpt from Blood Royal: Edward was called the Black Prince because of the black armor he wore or because of his temper(Delderfield, Kings and Queens of England, pg. 54). sedgwick (The Black Prince, pg. 27) indicates that the name came about because of his "dreadful deeds in war" but adds that "the name does not appear in recorded history until two hundred years after his death," so a certain explanation may not be forthcoming. Costain, "The Three Edwards, pg 252, reminds us that Edward wore black armor (Sable mail"-a gift from his father) at the battle of Crecy and that he ussed black in his heraldic devices. Edward the Black Prince: His Tomb and Funeral Achievements in Canterbury Cathedral, a booklet published by Canterbury Cathedral, 1987, states that the name "was probable contemporty and alluded to the colour of the livery worn by his retainers."
